PC Perspective Live Review Recap: Z77 Motherboard Roundup

A PC Perspective Live Review Recap is a recorded version of a previously live streamed event from http://pcper.com/live. If you couldn't make the original air time, or simply want to re-watch, the on-demand version is provided below!

Great stuff! I've got a massive 3 slot cooler for my 6950 GPU and an Auzentech PCI Express Sound Card. While I love the hardware, this combination has been an absolute nightmare for most motherboards, as the only free slot for the sound card always ends up being right above the GPU (which means I get all manner of pops and high-pitched noises in the sound output thanks to being too close to the GPU).

As I'm in the market this video does a huge service by letting me see these Mobo's, meaning I get to play it smart with my next purchase.
